Gerold: Update 3

Published by

I’ve explored the whole southern map now, and cleared the bandit camp. Just getting started on the Cloakwood Forest. Everyone is around 6th level.

“Easy now girl, I’ve got you.”

Readers will recognize one familiar glitch, the AI seriously thinks Minsc should have a beard!

By far the hardest one here was Louisa healing Jaheira. Anything with a wounded character will be a low percentage render, it just is. Most results will fail to pass the second filter. But surprising this time, the AI did not want to do pointed ears! That’s a first. It will often put them on the wrong character, or on everyone. So I thought two half-elven women would work fine. No such luck. I had five or six results that I thought looked promising until I blew them up, and no pointed ears!
And I had to include the one line of dialogue. In my mind, anyone calling Jaheira “girl” does so at their own peril. But Louisa will, and I think she’ll get away with it.

    Wow. That’s a really nice set! All of them are set up nicely. My favorite is probably the first one – with the skeleton charging. But Minsc and the orc came out fantastic as well. And Imoen and the spider in the forest is a great setup as well (although her stance relative to her arms looks backwards to me. Can’t have everything).

    I’d be interested to see the prompts for the Gerald and Minsc in particular.

      My idea was to recreate a couple of game moments, the top one was from the Ulcaster Ruins when Icharyd comes at you. The prompt was [Gerold] with slashing sword in blurred motion running at a skeletal warrior (damaged ancient armor, rusting sword, rotten wooden shield). Too many results looked like Gerold was running away! And a lot of them had the Skeleton in Gerold’s colors with his shield. So it took a few renders.

      For Minsc, I started with your description and edited out references to Boo, and Minsc being a nice guy. I added “clean shaven, body builder, fierce bellowing yell, 2-handed great sword, worn plate armor”.
      The ogre was “Large green ogre in battered and broken armor, with a large spiked club”.
      Obviously I didn’t get it all! But I liked the look of this one.

      Yeah Imoen looks a little off, and she’s on the wrong side of the tree! I was picturing hidden sniping kind of thing. But I loved that “What the H…” look on her face, so I went with it.

      I’d also mention the Louisa and Jaheira render, Louisa came out a little older than I wanted. I’ve been saying 50, but I may dial it back to 45 or 40. I’ve done that a few times already, I should have done it here but I got distracted fighting with the other issues and I didn’t feel like tweaking that.
